The wealthy entrepreneur: I want to support millions of employees!.

Chapter 492: Fame is rising! Jiuxiang Hotpot chain goes viral! Didn’t they say it should be treated coldly?
Ji Guoxiong's move once again made Jiuxiang Hotpot a hot topic.

Su Yang saw the wonderful video clip of the press conference sent by Yu Siying in the group.

Seeing Ji Guoxiong, who is in his forties, he is as ambitious and vigorous as a young man in his thirties.

When he said with a firm and confident look that Jiuxiang Hotpot is as good as Guodi Lao, I couldn't help but praise him: "Mr. Ji is so handsome!"

Ji Guoxiong: “…”

Yu Siying: "Mr. Ji is indeed very handsome, and the boss is even more handsome!"

Su Yang: "Stop flattering me!"

Xu Fei: "Boss, don't be so modest. The models at the headquarters all praise you for being so handsome!"

Lin Yi: "It's the same here. Chen Tao has praised the boss, saying that the boss is more handsome than the male stars in the entertainment industry!"

"..."

Su Yang had to change the subject: "@Ji Guoxiong@Yu Siying: Are you ready for the follow-up?"

Yu Siying: “It’s all arranged!”

Ji Guoxiong: "Ready!"

When Jiuxiang Catering General Manager Ji Guoxiong confirmed the "rumor", many media outlets also stepped down, including some official print media.

Many people began to analyze why Guodi Lao wanted to acquire Jiuxiang chain.

Many media outlets have begun to dig deep into the business operations of Guodi Lao and Jiuxiang Hotpot.

Guodi Lao is a listed company and its quarterly financial reports are made public every year.

Although Jiuxiang Hotpot has not released its financial report, we can still get some rough data from various channels.

As a result, many reporters discovered that Jiuxiang Hotpot had indeed suppressed the popularity of its hotpot in Rongcheng and Shancheng!
At least there are more Jiuxiang hotpot dishes than Guodi Lao, and the business seems to be pretty good.

In other provinces of Guizhou and Chang'an, the newly opened Jiuxiang Hotpot is also doing very well!
While many Guodi Lao branches were closing down in various places, none of the dozens of Jiuxiang Hotpot branches spread across four provinces closed down...

In today's period of decline in the catering industry, this kind of result is somewhat unbelievable no matter how you look at it!
Many media outlets believe that it is very likely that Guodi Lao felt threatened by Jiuxiang Hotpot and wanted to nip this threat in the bud.

As for the online media, those self-media bloggers and various accounts took advantage of this hot topic and told this story even more unscrupulously.

The reports of self-media bloggers all lean towards conspiracy theories, almost saying that Guodi Lao wants to cut off Jiuxiang Hotpot, a new force that threatens its position in the industry, through acquisition.

Some self-media bloggers also dug up the story of Guodi Lao’s boss immigrating to Singapore, saying that Jiuxiang Hotpot is a truly domestic enterprise!

Unconsciously, many people who saw these reports would involuntarily compare Jiuxiang Hotpot with Haidilao...

As long as this is the case, Jiuxiang Catering’s goal will be achieved!

This was the first time that Jiuxiang Hotpot went viral and became famous across the country.

A hotpot chain that threatens the position of domestic giant Guodi Lao in the industry!
Before long, the comment sections of many online platforms regarding such reports were also filled with verbal abuse.

Some people scolded Jiuxiang Hotpot for being shameless and trying hard to get traffic from the bottom of the pot.

Someone spoke up for Jiuxiang Hotpot, saying that Guodi Lao was the first to want to acquire Jiuxiang, so they definitely had no good intentions!
Some people say that Guodi Lao has the best service quality.

Some people argued that Jiuxiang Hotpot’s service was just as good and the taste was even better!
Some people say that the employees who make the most of the pot are paid high wages.

Someone retorted that the treatment of Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant’s employees was no worse than that of Guodi Lao, and they even had two days off a week!
……

At the Guodi Lao headquarters, CEO Lei Mingwei looked at the verbal battles under the short videos. He felt good at first, but his expression turned sour after a while.

He couldn't help but ask the vice president beside him: "Didn't you say to deal with it coldly? Why does it feel like there are some trolls?"

The vice president frowned and said, "I also received the news. It seems that many people are speaking for us and arguing with some supporters of Jiuxiang Hotpot. The marketing department said that there are indeed traces of water army activities!"

Lei Mingwei: "We really didn't hire any navy?"

The vice president said firmly: "Absolutely not, President Lei has personally instructed!"

At this moment, Lei Mingwei suddenly reacted: "MLGBD Ji Guoxiong!"

He did not doubt the boss of Jufan Holdings.

After all, he heard that the boss of Jufan Holdings had gone on vacation a long time ago and was not in the company.

Ji Guoxiong is now the one holding the power in Jiuxiang Catering!

Moreover, Mr. Su is very young, only twenty-five years old.

Guodi Lao had noticed Jiuxiang Hotpot a long time ago. When Jiuxiang Hotpot opened in Rongcheng, they found that the hotpot of Jiuxiang Hotpot tasted better than their Guodi Lao.

In the past six months, Lei Mingwei has continuously sent elites to infiltrate hot pot base factories, trying to steal various recipes of Jiuxiang hot pot.

However, Jiuxiang Hotpot’s confidentiality is extremely tight.

Nearly ten elite soldiers he sent over were all dismissed by Jiuxiang Hotpot for various reasons within a month.

The people sent out were all trustworthy talents. Some had been working in society for many years, some were high IQ elites from universities, and some were masters of deception... But after they joined Jiuxiang Catering, none of them could survive the probation period!
He also sent people to bribe the internal employees of Jiuxiang Hotpot, but the recipes he got were fake three times in a row!
Moreover, those who were bribed by him would soon be dismissed by Jiuxiang Catering.

Fake recipe!
It was leaked intentionally, no doubt about it!
He didn't dare to do it again, for fear that Jiuxiang Catering would notice that they were doing something wrong and that they would be caught with evidence!

Only a few senior executives within the company know about these things.

After all, you can't talk about sneaky things for fear of affecting your reputation.

Lei Mingwei had no choice but to use the acquisition method to eliminate the threat of Jiuxiang Hotpot and get the recipe of Jiuxiang Hotpot by the way!
I didn't expect the other party to be so shameless and keep hyping up the acquisition!

When the vice president heard Lei Mingwei's curse, he suddenly reacted.

They did give the situation a cold shoulder, but Jiuxiang Catering started to play their own game.

Since I play myself, I also play them!

This... is so fucking disgusting!
A young couple strolls around a night market in Chang'an.

The boy asked quietly, "Are you hungry? Why don't you go get something to eat?"

"can!"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Why don't we just eat hot pot!" the boy suggested, "Then let's go get some from the bottom of the pot?"

He has been to Guodi Lao several times and is quite familiar with it.

His habit is that if he feels a store is good, he will go there often!
The girl shook her head and said, "I'm tired of eating them. I wonder if there's Jiuxiang Hotpot here? I heard that this hotpot restaurant chain is very famous and has a branch in Chang'an!"

"I'll check on the map... Yeah, it really is there, not far away!"

"Then let's go!"

"it is good!"

Not long after, the couple was stunned when they arrived at the door of Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant.

Looking at the 20 or so customers sitting on plastic stools in front of the hot pot restaurant, the boy complained: "I didn't expect the business to be so good!"

"Yes!"

"Why don't we go find another one!"

"No, let's eat here. There's no rush anyway!" The girl said as a matter of course, "Since there are so many people queuing in this restaurant, it must be delicious. I want to try it!"

"All right!"

Soon a waiter brought two plastic stools to the couple and also sent them some small desserts from the hot pot restaurant for them to try for free.

While eating, the girl chatted with the girl of the same age in front of her. She then found out that she was also a local, but had never eaten Jiuxiang Hotpot before.

Today I heard on the Internet that Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant is delicious and is as good as Guodi Lao, so I simply asked three of my good friends to come and try it!
Then, someone else lined up behind the couple...

In Jiangcheng, Hubei Province, Qian Xiaochang was having dinner with the two major shareholders of Sitong Food and several other managers, and he was drunk!

There were already three empty bottles of Moutai in front of him, and more than twenty beer bottles on the ground.

He feels uncomfortable when he meets a group of drunkards!
But there is no way around it, because Sitong Food is suitable for acquisition.
Whether it is the market share, the food processing technology, the relatively backward processing equipment, or the skilled workers, it is relatively acceptable...

Fengyuan is not willing to hold controlling stakes in any junk company.

Qian Xiaochang said helplessly: "I need to go to the toilet!"

A forty-year-old middle-aged man said with a smile: "Okay, don't run away with the money!"

"How can I run away...there's still the next show and the next one!"

As soon as Qian Xiaochang stood up, he felt dizzy.

His secretary quickly supported him.

When Qian Xiaochang walked out of the private room and was blown by the cold wind, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach and a little nauseous!
As soon as he entered the toilet cubicle, Qian Xiaochang held the toilet bowl and vomited violently.

After vomiting, Qian Xiaochang felt a little better.

The secretary asked outside: "Mr. Qian, are you okay?"

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after vomiting!"

He casually wiped his mouth with toilet paper, urinated, and was about to wash his hands when he felt the phone vibrating in his trouser pocket.

He glanced at the caller ID and it wasn’t the person he noted!

But he still picked up the phone and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Qian, I'm Zhou Fuhe from Chuhe Foods!"

"It's Mr. Zhou, what's going on?"

Qian Xiaochang remembered Zhou Fuhai. Last time, Fengyuan’s employees contacted Chuhe Food.

However, Zhou Fuhai said that the company does lack funds.

But you can buy shares, but you can’t hold controlling shares!
Speaking of which, Qian Xiaochang still felt it was a pity.

Chuhe Food is relatively large in scale, having already spread to the three surrounding provinces, and its equity structure is not complicated, with only three shareholders.

If possible, he would rather control Chuhe Food!
Zhou Fuhai asked with a smile on the phone: "Didn't you say last time that you wanted our Chuhe Food?"

When Qian Xiao heard this, he sobered up instantly: "Boss Zhou is willing to give up?"

"Are Jiuxiang Hotpot and Fengyuan owned by the same group?"

"Correct!"

"I wonder if what the media reported is true? Is your Jiuxiang Hotpot better than Guodi Lao?"

Qian Xiaochang said confidently: "Of course!"

Even if it is false, he will say it is true.

If you can’t even fool yourself, what’s the point of being an executive?

Not to mention that this is the fact, in his opinion, Jiuxiang Hotpot is even better!

Zhou Fuhai smiled and said, "I'm reluctant to sell the company to you, but I think we can talk about controlling the company. Can we arrange a place to talk tomorrow?"

"it is good!"

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Qian Xiaochang took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

Back at the table, Wang Rui, the major shareholder of Sitong Food, picked up his glass and continued, "Mr. Qian, let's continue drinking!"

Qian Xiaochang thought of the call from the boss of Chuhe Food and said, "Boss Wang, I've almost finished drinking. I can't drink any more!"

Wang Rui's face didn't look good: "Are you giving me no face?"

Qian Xiaochang shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Zhou from Chuhe Foods called me just now and asked me to meet him tomorrow morning. I can't drink too much!"

"What does he want from you?"

Qian Xiaochang smiled and said, "He wants to cooperate with us Fengyuan!"
